A man on the bus just pulled out a wadded up buck from his pocket, turned to a young lady and said loudly “I’ll give you a dollar for sex.” Everyone on the buss including the man and lady all burst out laughing. “No thanks, man.” she laughed.
I’m certain that I’ve missed something.
There was an air conditioning unit in my window as a kid and it’s the only real reason I never jumped out.
My neighbors house was too far away for us to run a cable to and slide across Goonies style. The side of our house was made of aluminum siding too thick for me to nail planks into to build a ladder that would take me to the roof. It was a one story straight drop down to a fenced in gravel yard where my dog shit below, that just screamed of bloody palms and knees, the dreaded broken arm. The nearest tree had branches that reached out towards my window, like it wanted to help, but was too far away.
Regardless, my imagination kept ending all kinds of scenarios dreamt up in bed, hours after bedtime, with proposals of escape out the window.
I spent 1994 to 1997 harboring the same unrequited crush on a boy who, when he heard, told our entire 4th grade class as we lined up to go back inside after recess, that this couldn’t possibly be true, because “if Meaghan O. liked me, I would be in the bathroom barfing right now.”
This piece by Meghan O is fucking great! It’s telling, funny, heart wrenching, honest, and the perfect length for writing on the web in my opinion. Click here to read the whole thing. I loved it.
My roomate picked up some of our mail from our old apartment, which is now being rented by a nice young family. This was for me. It’s nice of MetLife to take such time to make their envelope so pretty.
I just found this creepy footage on an old hard drive. I’m not sure what it was shot on. A little old pocket camera of some sort. With the iMove image stabilization applied it gets even stranger. It reminds me of the video for Free As A Bird.
Multnomah County Library moible site is not formated for very easy use on the iPhone but it works. I just put three books I’d been wanting to read on hold and I’m not out of bed yet. It’s worth a bookmark if you live in Portland.
After being down for a while, Satellite Beach, my favorite comic of mine, is back up online in a format that looks great on the iPhone.
This movie is great. That antidote is gross! (via lilymehal)
